‘Value’ in the form of increased electricity network capacity and enhanced supply reliability - this is what VALCAP - an advanced cable monitoring system from nkt cables - is offering.
Most parts of the world have experienced major power cuts. The consequences have been serious for both people and business. But network breakdowns due to overload may soon be a thing of the past. Effective thermal monitoring combined with rating technology that can revolutionize reliability and optimize the utilization of both the existing and future power supply network has now become reality with VALCAP including AdapPro technology developed by nkt cables
The secret behind VALCAP’s newly developed ‘cable intelligence system’ is fibre-optic temperature measurement combined with a sophisticated rating software program called AdapPro, which makes it possible not only to continuously monitor the temperature of a HV cable conductor in real time, but to safely utilize the existing network capacity to its maximum.
”The name VALCAP was inspired by ‘VALue’ and ‘CAPacity’, because greater value and increased capacity are what we give our customers,” says Wolfgang Nolden, who is Director of nkt cables’ Fiber Technology Application -business. He sees cable monitoring and services as a growing business segment with huge development potential for nkt cables especially with respect to added value in technology and sales for nkt cables’ HV cable business.
